  1. 16. Biochar and hemp as peat substitutes in organic growing media : effects on nutrient availability and nutrient uptake

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Malin Nilsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Growing media; substrate; biochar; hemp; peat substitution; nutrient availability; nutrient use efficiency;

    Abstract : This study aimed at evaluating the suitability of biochar and hemp as partial or complete replacement of peat in horticultural growing media, with specific emphasis on the effects on nutrient availability and plant nutrient uptake. The study was motivated by the environmental concerns surrounding the use of peat, along with a desire to explore possible uses for biochar and a crop residue from hemp cultivation. READ MORE

  3. 17. Metal-Organic Frameworks for Carbon Dioxide Capture : Using Sustainable Synthesis Routes

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för materialvetenskap

    Author : Dhruva Deole; [2022]
    Keywords : Metal-Organic Frameworks; Metal-Organic Frameworks for Carbon Dioxide Capture; Sustainable Synthesis; 3D Printing of Metal-Organic Frameworks; Nanomaterials; Nanoporous Materials; Nanotechnology and Functional Materials;

  4. 18. Smaksättning av vegetabilisk yoghurt på Vicia faba

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Ellen Landström; [2022]
    Keywords : Vicia faba; åkerböna; bondböna; yoghurt; vegetabiliskt; smaksättning; närproducerat; proteinskifte;

    Abstract : En övergång från animaliska till vegetabiliska proteiner är en attraktiv strategi för att förbättra livsmedelsproduktionen samt minska belastningen på miljön. Bondöna (Vicia faba) är en lämplig proteingröda att odla i Sverige vilket skulle gynna det svenska jordbruket samt var gynnsamt då trenden i samhället just nu är ett intresse för närproducerat.

  5. 19. Nutrient Retention in Constructed Wetlands

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Johanna Kero; [2022]
    Keywords : Constructed wetlands; nutrient retention; phosphorus; nitrogen; catchment area factors; Anlagda våtmarker; näringsretention; fosfor; kväve; avrinningsområdesfaktorer;

    Abstract : Eutrophication, a surplus of nutrients, is a problem in aquatic environments and one of the Swedish Environmental Goals is that there should be no eutrophication caused by human activities. Constructed wetlands (CW:s) is a measure that could be implemented to decrease the transport of nutrients to water bodies through retention. READ MORE

  6. 20. Influence of Humidity Over the Properties of Wood Fiber-based Biocomposites

    University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

    Author : Arvid Hedin; Anna Kudinova; Linnea Masso; [2022]
    Keywords : Wood Polymer Composite; WPC; Relative Humidity; RH; Tensile Testing; Polypropene; FibraQ; Wood Fiber; Surface Treatment; Mechanical Properties;

    Abstract : The project aims to develop a methodology to study the variation in properties of wood polymer composites (WPC’s) with/without surface treatment at different humidity conditions. The project aims to investigate the behavior of biocomposites at 50%, 80%and 100% relative humidity (RH). READ MORE
